Abstract

This study investigates the current state, desired state, and needs for personnel administration in private higher education institutions. The sample group consisted of faculty members from private higher education institutions in Shandong Province, People’s Republic of China, selected based on the Krejcie and Morgan table, totaling 381 participants. The research instrument was a checklist-type questionnaire with an IOC value ranging from 0.67 to 1.00, item discrimination power ranging from 0.66 to 0.97, and a reliability coefficient of 0.97. Statistical methods employed included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and the priority index for needs. The research findings revealed that: (1) the current state of personnel administration in private higher education institutions, both overall and in every aspect, is at a moderate level, while the desired state, both overall and in every aspect, is at the highest level; and (2) the needs and directions for personnel administration in private higher education institutions, ranked from highest to lowest priority, are personnel recruitment, personnel training, performance evaluation, and compensation and benefits.
